• The New Nazis

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Tue Oct 18 00:17:00 2022
    Hello Everybody,

    Mel Brooks had it right so many years ago.
    It really is "Springtime for Hitler" ... only
    in Sweden rather than in Germany or the USA.

    Ulf Kristersson: Swedish parliament elects new PM backed by far right

    Source: BBC

    PM Ulf Kristersson's Moderates will form a centre-right coalition with
    the Christian Democrats and the Liberals.

    But it will govern with support from the Sweden Democrats (SD), who won
    a fifth of votes in recent polls.

    Tougher immigration policies and greater police powers are part of a
    policy deal with the SD.

    ....

    The SD was founded by Nazi sympathisers and had been shunned by the
    mainstream for decades.

    So what's wrong with that?

    Would it be so much more fun if it were backed by the far left?.

    No worries, Lee. This is not the USA, a party with just one fifth of the seats in the parliament can never get any laws of their own passed against the will of the rest of the house.

    It's time you start worrying about what will happen if the MAGA idiots over there will gain seats in *your* parliaments -- federal, but more importantly state. It's just two weeks left now...

    Hello Ward,

    So what's wrong with that?

    The New Nazis are IN, and are now being noticed by all -

    "Sweden in the north, Italy in the south: Left-wing governments
    are so yesterday."
    ~ Beatrix von Storch tweet (leading member of the Alternative
    for Germany party)

    Would it be so much more fun if it were backed by the far left?.

    Red Brigades in Italy would love it.

    That is only the beginning. With time, that small minority will

    Worry? Me, worry?

    Oh, at the state level I still have one year of freedom left. The
    MAGA idiots have two/thirds majority control both houses of the state legislature at present, but not the governor's mansion. That changes
    next year as their only opposition leaves due to term limits.

    Well, you've managed to forget that you'd be speaking German right now
    if it wasn't for the USA. At least you got to keep your
    commie-tendencies. It is a little strange as to how/why you hate the
    USA so much, since you owe them so much.

    But that's OK. We don't care about you, either.

    And you, dear Sir, probably don't even know that it was *not* the US military that saved the world, it was the US women, that kept the production of war materiel up until the very end.

    And now you MAGA idiots are doing your best to thank your women by first taking away their right to their own bodies, and with your America First movement even take away their right to vote.

    How civilized of you. Without the German scientists you'd be speaking Japanese right now.

    Googling Sweden's rape statistics returns many pages of results. Whether its a problem or not its still a hotbed topic. Therefore Sweden has a rape problem.

    Before you hit the Reply key, remember how often you used and advocated for this asenine logic many dozens of times here since 9/11 to push your agenda.

    You are in no position to lecture anyone on women or anything beyond Abba.

    rape problem.

    Swedish women are probably the most emancipated and self-conscious in the world. To have sex over there, and not to get into trouble unintentionally, it's best to have a written contract.

    Because of their self-confidence and their assertiveness you just don't mess with Swedish women or you might find yourself in the wrong bench during criminal court proceedings.

    Because of my years long international work I've encountered several Swedish women and you simply don't mess with them.

    Widely differing legal systems, offence definitions, terminological variations, recording practices and statistical conventions makes any cross-national comparison on rape statistics difficult if not impossible.

    You are in no position to lecture anyone on women or anything beyond
    Abba.

    You do know that one of the girls is the illegitimate daughter of a Nazi, right?

    Russia has now banned ABBA-music.

    Hi Dan,

    if it wasn't for the USA. At least you got to keep your
    commie-tendencies. It is a little strange as to how/why you hate the
    USA so much, since you owe them so much.

    Not again ... it's amazing what a small part is reserved for history in your high-school system.

    In the European theater the war had already been decided by the Battle of Britain which ended October 31st 1940. At that moment no further advances occured in the west and it was going to be another 14 months before Pearl Harbor happened.

    At that point the Battle of the Atlantic also already had ended with Nazi Germany losing about half of its capital ships fleet early in the war (Graf Spe, Blucher, Bismarck) with Gneisenau out of commission for good.

    In the east there was the Battle of Stalingrad which was the decisive battle in WW2, not Operation Overlord. Without Stalingrad Operation Overlord would not have happened because Nazi Germany was forced to withdraw troops from the west sending them to the east thereby weakening coastal defences.

    Germany after Stalingrad was on a one-way trip to defeat ... something the USSR never was given enough credit for by Hollywood. The US's entry into the war just made it a different kind of defeat.

    Plus there was Alan Turing ...

    Your first wrong assumption. I know very well the role that US women
    played in the war. Not even sure why you would think I wouldn't know
    that. But I guess you're really that stupid.

    And now you MAGA idiots are doing your best to thank your
    women by first taking away their right to their own bodies, and
    with your America First movement even take away their right to
    vote.

    Second wrong assumption that I'm a "MAGA idiot". What made you think
    such a thing? Your second two statements are also wrong, especially
    that last one. You really had to reach up deep into your ass to pull
    that one out.

    How civilized of you. Without the German scientists you'd be
    speaking Japanese right now.

    Oh, yes, I realize the contribution that German scientists (who came to
    the US by their own choice) made to the US war efforts. Yet another
    stupid assumption by you. It's the only thing you're good at. You're
    also wrong about the "speaking Japanese" thing, which shows your utter
    lack of knowledge about the subject. The only thing the two A-bombs did
    was hasten the end of the war (and save many lives), as it was just a
    matter of time until we overran Japan. We were very close to doing just
    that when the bombs were dropped.

    Go back and study up on things a little; your lack of education is
    glaringly bright.

    I can assure you that I'm educated far beyond the "high-school system". You're as bad as your pal Beeeorn at making stupid assumptions.

    Actually, what I mentioned is accepted by history scholars as perfectly correct.

    It cannot be denied that the Battle of Britain had already been concluded 14 months prior to Pearl Harbour, that the Battle for Stalingrad was the major turning point for the front in eastern Europe and that the troops of Nazi Germany were already running in a general westernly direction. Just as it cannot be denied that the Kriegsmarine had already been reduced to less than half its combat readyness by unfortunate events during the first operational sorties of Graf Spe, Bismarck and Blucher.

    See ... I can write full sentences, make a point, not just one-liners and still not insult someone...

    So do I, and many from my generation in Sweden. I could even say that German is my native tongue (I spoke German my first five years).

    In the Technical University where I studied, most of our textbooks were in German, since German science was still world leading by then.

    And, as you pointed out, if it wasn't for the US influence, we would probably be a German speaking people here in Sweden.

    Not that I regret that we now are almost 100% English speaking, mind you. I'm all in favour of universal standards. Including metric systems of course. The basis of human progress...

    mind you. I'm all in favour of universal standards. Including metric systems of course. The basis of human progress...

    My point is that for me language is a tool. Just like the metric system is a tool for measurements, language is a tool for communication. It so happens that my native language is understood by a mere 1% of all the people on our planet and actively used by just 0,5%. I consider that a handicap. I would have been better off with a more wide spread native language. German would have been better than Dutch. So to those who claim they prevented German from being my native language I say: Your claim is false, but if it were not, you did not do me a favour.

    Hello Ward,

    Googling Sweden's rape statistics returns many pages of results. Whether
    its a problem or not its still a hotbed topic. Therefore Sweden has a
    rape problem.

    Swedish women are probably the most emancipated and self-conscious in the world. To have sex over there, and not to get into trouble unintentionally,
    it's best to have a written contract.

    Gee, I never knew that. What if one gets involved in a threesome?
    Or an orgy?

    Because of their self-confidence and their assertiveness you just don't mess
    with Swedish women or you might find yourself in the wrong bench during criminal court proceedings.

    I never knew sex was a crime in Sweden. Best to have sex with Swedes
    in America, the land of the free and home of the brave?

    Because of my years long international work I've encountered several Swedish
    women and you simply don't mess with them.

    I had lots of fun with two Swedish gals and a Dutch gal who shared
    an apartment when I was in college ...

    Widely differing legal systems, offence definitions, terminological variations, recording practices and statistical conventions makes any cross-national comparison on rape statistics difficult if not impossible.

    You'd be surprised at what some gals will do on camera ... especially
    when armed with a dildo.

    You are in no position to lecture anyone on women or anything beyond
    Abba.

    You do know that one of the girls is the illegitimate daughter of a Nazi, right?

    That is what makes her the alternative for Germany.

    Russia has now banned ABBA-music.

    Now we know what the Z is for.

    For Life,
    Lee

    This was about rape. I know that in most countries a "no" from a woman really means "yes please". But not in Sweden. Try to rape a Swedish girl and all hell will come down upon you. Our phones are open 24/7 if you want to report a violation of our girl's freedom to choose with whom they have intercourse with.

    That is the single most important reason why *reported* rapes are as high as it is in Sweden. BOC, men with erectile problems will never want to hear anything about it. "A fuck is a fuck, leave it with that."

    Imagine how my Russian friend living in Ukraine had to take all oral exams in Ukrainian. Selective obscenities in three floors - that's what we all heard from him for the requirements of a higher educational institution to take exams exclusively in Ukrainian. At the same time, half of all words related to special scientific terms are just Russian words, the Ukrainians did not manage to translate them into their distorted pig language ;)

    Here is an example of discrimination at the state level on the basis of language in Ukraine.

    One inconsistency - this man did not go anywhere, he was born there and lived all his life. It's like if the Chinese come to you and force you to use only Chinese. And everything that reminds of Flanders will be destroyed in Flanders - history, monuments, ancestral graves, religion. If you don't like it, go to a place where there are no Chinese yet.

    ""Picture this" is more clear? Because you can't try it on your own skin, just try to imagine. No, not to come, but to be born, to live your whole life speaking Russian, and suddenly - blemishes, let's take the exam in another language!

    Not applicable. Because even a picture of this you are not able to do there in the West.

    Ukraine was and is bilingual. You can use Russian anywhere (you never visited Ukraine, right?).
    But state language is Ukranian.

    It's like in China, where all exams are in Mandarin. Go and say to China that they are idiots.

    Soviet Union had system of forced "Russifiction" when you had to know Russian and State's policy was very much like imperialism, with Moscow as center of eveything add Russian language as the language of elites.

    I am in Azerbaijan now where they had Baku's population which almost completely switched to Russian and all other people who were still speaking Azeri.
    After fall of Soviet Union country switched backed to Azeri. They still have Russian language schools but all state services are in Azeri.
    For them it was a path from "Imperial province" to Independent state.

    Nazaroff calls Ukranian here a "pig language". This is what I am talking about. Russian imperialism is bad thing for everyone, for Russians also.

    Once again, you try to confuse the issue, and speak about apples vs
    oranges... I'm not surprised.

    Operation Paperclip was done *AFTER* the war (we were talking about WW2,
    just in case you forgot). It's goal was to benefit the USA in regards
    to the "cold war" with the USSR, and overall military/commercial
    technical endeavors (such as the "space race").

    Many other countries (especially the USSR) did exactly the same thing.
    Only a handful (fewer than 5) of the Germans who came to the US were
    ever accused/tried of any wartime crimes. I don't think ANY were ever convicted of anything.

    My original comment above about the Germans helping the US's war efforts
    was in regards to the development of the A-bombs used to end the war
    with Japan, and you knew that perfectly well.

    There. Your blatant attempt to exaggerate and lie is exposed for all to
    see. You failed in your "smear attempt", as usual. <YAWN>

    Operation Paperclip was done *AFTER* the war (we were talking about WW2, just in case you forgot).

    And *you* seem to forget that the war in Europe ended three months before that in the Pacific? Even two months before the first atomic bomb (Trinity) first proved to work? And how many months before May 1945 do you think German scientists started moving west?

    Most of all, you perfectly well demonstrate what a shallow take on history you are getting. You are in dire need of studying up on German as well as Japanese nuclear development during WWII. Like e.g. something about the leading figure in the Japanese atomic program, Dr. Yoshio Nishina, a close associate of Niels Bohr and a contemporary of Albert Einstein.

    No, sir, I think we can all be thankful that the Germans as well as the Japanese ran out of fuel, troops and other supplies just in the nick of time. BOC, you will never want to hear anything about *that*, right...?

    Hello Bjrn,

    I never knew sex was a crime in Sweden.

    This was about rape.

    Rape is a crime of violence. Sex is an act of love.

    I know that in most countries a "no" from a woman really means "yes please".
    But not in Sweden.

    A "no" is a "no" is a "no" - in every language and in every country.

    Try to rape a Swedish girl and all hell will come down upon you.

    The two Swedish gals I knew back in college days made sure of that.
    Both knew how to handle themselves, and never had a real problem.
    Problem is, in this country many women choose not to even report an
    incident, and rapists go on to rape others without ever getting
    caught.

    Our phones are open 24/7 if you want to report a violation of our girl's freedom to choose with whom they have intercourse with.

    Victims often never recover, and have little support from society,
    or in many cases their own family. We have a former president who
    regards women as being nothing more than playthings, and has been
    accused by many of being a rapist. But he will never be charged
    or prosecuted for any crime. And the women he had fun with will
    never receive a single red cent in damages ...

    That is the single most important reason why *reported* rapes are as high as
    it is in Sweden. BOC, men with erectile problems will never want to hear anything about it. "A fuck is a fuck, leave it with that."

    Now we know Trump's alibi. Thanks for telling. :)

    For Life,
    Lee

    Hello Bjrn,

    Oh, yes, I realize the contribution that German scientists (who came to
    the US by their own choice) made to the US war efforts.

    Oh, yes, those German scientists "technically" came by their own choice.

    Of course they did. Everybody loves America.

    The two choices 1600 German scientists had between going with the secret
    US Operation Paperclip, without even the Allied leaders, or of course the US people, being informed anything about it, and, the other choice: going to Nrnberg, standing trial for all the war crimes they'd committed.

    And given very lenient sentences.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Hello Alexander,

    [..]

    village with three people. But if tens of millions people speak
    their native language only idiots could try to make them to refuse
    from it. In these case the country _must_ be bilingual, as Ukraine
    had been until the coup in 2014.

    Ukraine was and is bilingual. You can use Russian anywhere (you
    never visited Ukraine, right?). But state language is Ukranian.

    Bilingual it is when two languages are equal in state affairs, business, culture, TV and so on. Especially it had to be true in Russian speaking areas of Ukraine. The thing that the new authority in Kiev has tried to eliminate for 8 years, after coming to power.

    The state of Louisiana has two official languages - French and English.
    The reason why is because many people in the state speak French, and
    many people in the state speak English. Some even speak both French and English, making them truly bilingual.

    The USA has no official language. Even though most people in the USA
    speak English. So how does one go about eliminating a language that
    officially does not exist?

    It's like in China, where all exams are in Mandarin. Go and say to
    China that they are idiots. And Mandarin is VERY different from
    southern languages. Father of my colleage from the South cannot
    understand Mandarin almost completely, his local language (only the
    writing is the same) is more different to Mandarin than Russian to
    Ukraine.

    Historically things often happened undemocratically, but now when some people try to remake millions of others, forcefully and not hearing them -- it is called fascism. I have told the all why Ukrainian nationalists are Nazi, but this is why they are fascists.

    What is fascism? Do you even have a clue? Most people don't, so do
    not feel as if I am picking on you. So please. Feel free to post your
    own definition. Whatever that might be.

    Putin maybe is a tyrant, but even he doesn't do such fascist things in Russia.

    What fascist things? Remember, he is the one who is calling Zelensky
    a fascist. Not just any ordinary fascist, but a Nazi Jew. Whatever that
    is.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Fascism was brightly shown in Italy and Germany. It looks like this -- a certain politician (as a rule a psychopath) declares his an idee fixe
    and organises a popular movement consisting of aggressive groups of his followers who are marching along the streets, hold rallies, intimidate opponents, make a special list of those who don't support them etc. At
    some point they even can come to your house and teach you how you must
    live from now on, wagging with baseball bats. At some point it becomes
    simply dangerous to hold your own policy if you don't support the
    mentioned fucking guys. At some point they simply can bit you even for a critical article in the newspaper which didn't praise them.
    All these things have burst into blossom in Ukraine, especially after
    2014, although they were there before, too. That's why the Ukrainian ultra-nationalists are not only Nazi, but it is more correct to call
    them Nazi-fascists. There is no place to stamp a word "democracy" on
    their body, unless you hate Russia so much that everyone who hates it
    becomes your friend. It was the position of the West during the events
    in Kiev in 2014.

    It is not a coincidence that they have been demolishing now the
    monuments of the Soviet soldiers fallen in WW2. The German Nazi-fascist
    ideas are very close to them. The matter is not in the invasion of
    modern Russia -- the matter is in the revenge to those who fought
    fascism in WW2. And those to collaborate with Nazi during WW2 becomes
    heroes for the modern Ukrainian Nazi-fascists.

    ak>> Putin maybe is a tyrant, but even he doesn't do such fascist

    LL> What fascist things? Remember, he is the one who is calling

    It's a very common language in Chechnya. Almost 100% of local population speaks it.
    Your life without Chechen there will be very difficlut.

    thing is with Eskimos people. But in Ukraine all the east and south

    Eskimos people in Russia almost lost their languages because of politics of Russification.

    speaks Russian. Quite a different story.

    The same, actually. Chechens use Russian in schools but always use their native language anywhere else.

    No, bilingual is when most ot the people speak multiple
    languages. Like you can use English in Sweden. Or in Denmark. I
    had no problem with English in Denmark but their offical
    language is Danish.

    No, it is rubbish. A real bilingual example is Canadian Quebec.

    Probably you've never visited truly bilingual countrues, like Congo.
    They have French as official language but only about 50% of people use it as native language.

    And nobody became French because of that! ;) You cannot change your ethnic group by using Ukranian language if you want to be Russian.
    It's nonsense.

    But Ukaraine is still bilingual. Right now, in 2022.

    You don't follow the news -- the Ukraine officials tell about complete
    elimination of the Russian language in Ukraine in the future. It is
    there aim from 2014.

    It's like drop of popularity of German leanguage when German forces invaded Russia.
    Russian became language of mass killers, very unpleasent situation. But people still use Russian every day in Ukraine. And no one is punished for talking in Russian, you can find a lot of video clips on youtube where Ukranian soldiers speak Russian.
    And yes, if Russia will continue killing Ukranians - our language will be more and more language of death, very sad..

    He is doing much worse. Ukranian children from occupied
    territories were sent to new families in Russia, without finding
    or asking their parents. It's another way of Russification of
    Ukraine.

    Stinky propaganda cakes. People are being evacuate because of Ukraine constant shelling, that even today kills a lot of civilian people. And
    certainly the war zone is not a place for children to be in. But it
    is a lie that they are taken from their parent forcefully, without parent's consent.

    No one seeks for their families. So you are just unaware of the situation because Russian propaganda never talks about it: if you've lost you daughter for a day after the shelling - it's a high chance that she will be taken to Russia and sent to new familiy.
    No one will try to find you, Russia don't even search for it's soldiers, nobody cares about lost families, separated during mass shelling of the cities.

    There is a problem - there is nothing like "Russian culture" that is fully independent from Ukranian culture.
    Our cultures are very integrated into each other.
    That's why Zelensky was very popular in Russia as an actor.

    is western Ukrainian regions where people mainly speak Ukrainian, and

    Not really. The main driving force is not a Western Ukraine.
    The main reason is currupt Russia. Nobody wants to be like Russia.
    In Russia police will fuck you in the ass (a lot of examples of such behaviour), will beat you, road police will be asking for money from truck drivers,
    the main fundation of modern Russia is a greed for money and power.

    A lingistic map of Ukraine shows where most who speak Russian

    in Kiev in 2014.

    Fascism is not vigilantism. Although vigilantism is tolerated, and
    encouraged. I define it as the period beteen WWI and WWII, when Benito Mussolini (a former socialist) created a new ideology as a reaction
    to capitalist ideas of England, Italy, and especially the US. The
    national socialism of Germany (Nazism) was more of a personality
    cult (with Adolf Hitler at the center) rather than an ideology.

    FDR praised Benito Mussolini, and thought he was really on to
    something. Until Mussolini went sideways and endorsed Hitler.

    It is not a coincidence that they have been demolishing now the
    monuments of the Soviet soldiers fallen in WW2. The German Nazi-fascist ideas are very close to them. The matter is not in the invasion of
    modern Russia -- the matter is in the revenge to those who fought
    fascism in WW2. And those to collaborate with Nazi during WW2 becomes heroes for the modern Ukrainian Nazi-fascists.

    When the regime of Saddam Hussein came to an end, Iraqis toppled
    statues of the dictator, along with all other monuments of his era.
    Does that make Iraqis fascists or nazis? Many of those same Iraqis
    turned on those who freed them from their dictator. And we all know
    what happened to the dictator himself.

    There are many Ukrainians who fought along side with Russians as part
    of the Soviet army, and remain proud of what they did. So why would
    they, or other Ukrainians, want to destroy what they themselves were
    most proud of?

    Putin maybe is a tyrant, but even he doesn't do such fascist
    things in Russia.

    What fascist things? Remember, he is the one who is calling
    Zelensky a fascist. Not just any ordinary fascist, but a Nazi Jew.
    Whatever that is.

    I hope I have conveyed to you my idea on this account.

    Calling people names and acts of violence is not fascism.
    If fascism is a description of an ideology that existed in
    Italy between WWI and WWII, then no description of fascism
    would be apt to describe what passes for fascism today.

    We had an orange clown who liked to call people names.
    Such as "little rocket man" and "sleepy eyed Joe" etc.
    Not to mention entire peoples, such as Mexicans and
    Chinese. But does that make him a fascist? Or a nazi?
    What about a "semi-fascist"? Would that count?

    Acts of violence, such as the riot on January 6 at the Capital,
    is not fascism. Even with the president egging the crowd on.

    The US under Trump was a personality cult.
    Just like Germany under Hitler was.
    The only real difference being Trump's own incompetence.

    Benito Mussolini was competent as a leader, and knew what he was doing.
    Today, a new Italian leader has emerged. An old-school fascist, just
    like il Duce, only female. One who really knows what she is doing.

    Adolf Hitler was also competent, and knew what made people tick.
    Even after the war, Germans failed to understand why their schools
    were bombed, why their hospitals were bombed, why their cities were
    bombed. They did not have a clue about what really happened to their
    Jewish neighbors, thinking they had all relocated to Palestine ...

    They could until 2014. New laws has had clearly anti-Russian

    it, even in the areas of there living. The Russian language restriction

    Do you think that in Baltic states of those times there weren't people
    who wished communism and joining the USSR? As far as I know there were elections there and as the result was the joining to the USSR.
    You will NOT say that the USSR invaded Baltic states as it did in
    Poland. But of course you will say that those elections were dishonest.

    It's a very common language in Chechnya. Almost 100% of local

    People of some village also 100% probably want a new movie-theatre.
    But they will not get it. It is like a feet and toes. You can go on
    feet bit never on a toe.

    They won't get movie-theatre because they are in decline in Russia and most of them will close soon - they are not getttng enough profit for survival.
    West banned their new films and people don't want to watch new Russian movies there.

    The same, actually. Chechens use Russian in schools but always
    use their native language anywhere else.

    It is strange what you don't understand the difference. Probably you
    don't want.

    Or because you just don't have arguments :) Russian is the only language allowed for State exams in schools in Russia.
    Even for people who will use othe languages 99% of the time during their lives.

    Probably you've never visited truly bilingual countrues, like
    Congo. They have French as official language but only about 50%

    Do you really think that full scale war with Ukraine is good for Russian language?

    Hi, Dmitry! Recently you wrote in a message to alexander koryagin:

    Bilingual it is when two languages are equal
    in state affairs,

    No, bilingual is when most ot the people speak
    multiple languages.


    Ah, now I think we're getting somewhere.

    Some say folks from the West don't understand... but if they tell me it's now illegal to use Russian in Ukraine I find it difficult to believe that. Here in Canada we have two official languages, English & French. If you prefer to use another language at home or on the street or in the local pub you can do it with impunity. And in this province at least you can easily obtain services from local merchants & banks in Cantonese, Mandarin Chinese, Punjabi, etc. You can also ask for an interpreter when e.g. you have a child in hospital.... :-)


    My CANADIAN OXFORD DICTIONARY defines "bilingual" as:

    1. Able to speak two languages, esp. fluently

    2. Spoken or written in or involving two languages.

    It appears to me that many people who live in Ukraine speak either Ukrainian or Russian as the situation warrants (definition #1, which is basically how you're interpreting the word). Definition #1 pertains to human beings. The "official language/s" of some country or other (definition #2) is a different matter. As Alexander says, it pertains to state affairs & to just about anything spoken or written in two languages. But IMHO it's a large leap to suggest the neonasties in Ukraine want to force everyone to speak Ukrainian at all times. I wonder if some folks might be panicking unnecessarily over the "official language" issue.

    Thanks to you both for your help in clarifying these things.... :-)

    Here in Canada we have two official languages, English & French.

    Here in Belgium we have three: dutch, french and german. The use of languages is territorially restricted for practical purposes so schools will adhere to the local language but merchants will try to accomodate you. Filing a police report and you only know english? No problem. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugess in the country speaking only ukrainian or russian ... not a problem ... people getting jobs, kids going to school and quickly learning the language here ... there are cases where l'amour is also happening ...

    Language is not the reason for the Ukrainian invasion ... it's one of the many ridiculous excuzes.

    The day after tomorrow I'm flying to Calgary with my granddaughter ... the official parental consent from her mother to travel with gramps is delivered by the municipality quadrilingual, so is my passport, driver's license, ...

    Of course the language issue is not only one. Probably, even most
    important had been the violation of rights of eastern, southern parts of Ukraine and Crimea by illegal deposing of the elected Ukraine president Yanukovich, who had been elected mainly by these people. This issue is
    quite enough for not recognizing the new authority in Kiev.

    Suppose, that the US Police and army would have not dispersed Trumps' supporters around the Capital and they would have dismissed Bidon from presidency. It would have been the casus belli for Civil war in the USA.
    One part would not have accepted it, another one would have started
    using military to suppress those who refuse. There is a difference,
    however -- supporters of Tramp and Bidon are scattered across the
    country, but in Ukraine the supporters of Yanukovich all lived together,
    in the same areas (east, south, Crimea).

    That article does not support your claim. It says that a cabinet member (Danilov) made such a statement -- but not that it was policy of
    Ukraine nor that the statement was supported by Zelensky nor by anyone
    else in the government.

    The real problem is that current war has nothing to do with language. It's about a "revenge", about taking back what was "ours" during Soviet and Russian Imperial era. And the main driver behind those events - is Putin himself, who is talking exactly like Hitler - "we were forced to start this war".

    You probably have forgotten the term "oppressed working class". Exactly
    these numerous people wanted and fought for Communism in 20th century,
    in Russia including. They were the majority in many countries. Denying
    it looks like closing your eyes at the fact that you don't like to see.

    And a lot of Russians fought together with nazis during WW2.

    BTW, most of those Latvians were purged during 30s :) High price for beeing "most trusted guards", what do you think? ;)

    Most Bolshvicks who had made 1917 revolution were also repressed during
    Stalin rule in 30s. But those repressions were not political
    repressions. They were from the field of psychiatry. Such thing always
    happen when a country is surrounded by enimies. It is very possible
    we'll see some of this kind in the modern Russia. Beware if you are
    going to return to Russia from your Poland camp. ;)

    Bye, Dmitry!

    I see why you justify sending Ukrainian troops to Donbass and killings
    there for 8 years. You should only undersatnd why those in Donbass had
    not agreed with such an approach.

    We compare two totalitarian states or a totalitarian state and a
    democratic one?

    Yes, because no one was safe in USSR.

    repressions. They were from the field of psychiatry. Such thing

    USSR as built as some madman's dream.

    No always. Nothing like this happens in Israel.

    possible we'll see some of this kind in the modern Russia. Beware if

    We already see such things.

    you are going to return to Russia from your Poland camp. ;)

    I hope to see you going to war, Putin needs some more soldiers in Ukraine.
    When are going there?

    Ukranian troops were there since 1991. Don't forget that.

    Even talks in internet about referendum about separation from
    Russian state is punished by jail time. And you are talking
    about actual war that started with direct intervention from
    Russia!

    We compare country where you live and country which was attacked by country where you live.
